Have a single one of these statues shipped yet? Is it going on over two years?

Just received this message this morning regarding my Derby statue:

The comments for your order are: Hello
Unfortunately we have just been advised that this item has been cancelled by the suppliers and despite our best attempts, we have been unable to secure any further supplies.
Please be assured that no payment has been taken.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards

Does this mean the supplier has enough orders, or has the item been cancelled completely?

She's still on the GG website so I don't think she is cancelled. I think your distributor cancelled the orders for her.

Still have to give you guys props for sticking around this long. It seems that they are pushing out all the licensed products before their actual line.

The harsh reality is that we're very much reaching a spending ceiling in this hobby. Prices are rising much faster than inflation rates. The average PF went from costing $325 to $470 in just 2 years. That's a 44% increase in price. That's just crazy. Can you think of any other product or service which rose in price by 44% during the same time span?

There simply isn't enough fanbase accessible money to keep all statue companies afloat. I'm not at all surprised to see how hard a time this line and others are having. The cost-enjoyment ratio is really being tested lately. People are forced to make choices.

I think you're right, but I don't think this has anything to do with how long it's taking to get HoneyTrap to market.

If GG had hit while the iron was hot, they would have sold these statues without an issue. Now, 2 years or so, onwards, the statues simply aren't relevant anymore or people have no interest in entering into this ridiculous waiting game.

Can I ask which shop? I have Whisper and Lucky on order, but haven't heard anything about the retailer not being able to get them.

These pieces don't have ESs? How can retailers not be getting pieces then?
